That's got to be one of the most frequently asked questions in the daily lives of baseball fans all over the country. But you really hear it big-time in postseason play.

If someone asked me Friday if I'd seen the game the previous night, I would have given them an earful: Yeah, I saw the game - some of it anyway, when Fox Sports wasn't apparently bored with other things and actually covered it.

The rest of the time, I saw Sergio Romo being interviewed in the dugout for several minutes in the middle of the game, and I saw more sides of Detroit Tiger Prince Fielder than the guy's proctologist, thanks to unending replays of that critical second-inning home plate tag by Buster Posey. Is there some rule that every one of the 40 Fox Sports cameras set up around AT&T Park has to be represented in an eternal postmortem? I got it, guys - really: Fielder was out. Even if I were a Tigers fan, I could see it. I saw it in the first replay, it was confirmed in the second, it was getting a little old by the third, and by the fourth ... well I won't quote the actual words I was shouting at the TV screen, but suffice it to say they were all monosyllabic.

I bet if it could, Fox would have dug a hole under the third base line to give you a butt-shot of the actual slide.

I don't watch a lot of sports on TV because coverage is often a visual and aural mess. The TV screen is littered with more junk than Market Street after the annual Pride Parade. Granted, some of it is useful to get me off the couch: I consider that long jog to the TV set and the pressing of my nose against the screen to read the current score to be my cardio workout of the day. Hard though it may be to believe, some people still don't have billboard-sized plasma screens, so most of that junk is unreadable from any normal living-room distance. I can't begin to imagine what it must look like on a smart phone, and, frankly, don't care to find out.

But Fox Sports strayed too far in its coverage of the second game of the series on Thursday. Yeah, it must have been frustrating from a pure TV point of view that the game went all those innings with neither side scoring. But was that the reason Fox spent so much time analyzing the Fielder out? It almost felt as though several innings had elapsed by the time Fox got bored with all the different clips of the play - at least temporarily: Fox returned to the slide later in the game as well.

But the network's obsession with that single play was nothing compared to the giddy mid-game chat with Romo from the dugout.

Outfitted with a microphone, the genial pitcher was tapped by Fox to provide ... well, I'm not really sure what, but apparently some kind of unneeded commentary from the dugout. He also popped up in various video clips of other players, mugging for the camera: Have you heard about the latest pop culture fad? It's called "Where's Sergio?" and you see how many times you can spot him in various photos and video clips of World Series games. All he needs is a beanie and a red-striped shirt. Ooh: Let's make a drinking game out of it.

While his unseen dugout-mates pelted him with sunflower seeds (play-by-play man Joe Buck didn't reveal whether they were pre-chewed or not), Romo chatted and giggled for several minutes with the Fox Sports team, who, from time to time, seemed to remember that there was a game going on and threw play details in the middle of their questions. The questions themselves were strictly softball and inane.

It didn't help much when Fox split the screen, to give us Romo on one side and the actual game on the other: The conversation was still focused largely on Romo and, again, unless you had a wall-sized TV screen, you couldn't see much of the game action anyway.

There are probably all kinds of reasons that the ratings for the first two games of the series are just dismal - 12.2 million households for Game 1 and 10.1 million for Game 2.

But maybe one reason is that people just haven't heard about all the nifty things you can see on Fox Sports instead of having to be bothered by a boring old baseball game. Things like Prince Fielder sliding from the left, Prince Fielder sliding from the right, Prince Fielder sliding from overhead, Prince Fielder sliding in slo-mo, Prince Fielder pissed off about the call.

But you ain't seen nothin' folks. Wait till you catch Sergio mugging for the camera, Sergio getting anointed with sunflower seeds, Sergio being asked if he could be any kind of tree, what kind of tree would he be? (OK, I made that last one up ... I hope)
